There's somethin' sacred when your seventeen 'Bout a football jacket and a high school ringAnd it sure looked niceWhen you wore mineThat late October at a homecoming danceWe slipped outside and we took a chanceIn the middle of the night Man it sure felt rightWe let go right then and thereWe were loved and we were scared

[Chorus]For the first timeLovin' blind we dove right inFor the first timeWe gave everything and thenGraduation cameAnd our dreams called our namesWith broken hearts we moved on with our livesFor the first time

Well I heard the other dayYour a Sunday school teacher got the ptaGot a real good life Your a real good wifeI'm livin' in this circus worldNo I ain't married but I got a girlAnd I'm her manWe're makin' plansBut I still smile when I think of usTogether we learned how to love
